The Southeast Texas region has always been known for its high quality of life and its strong sense of community. Recently, however, a significant gap in local animal care availability has been left by the sudden closure of the Southeast Texas Animal Emergency Clinic. This closure has been a devastating blow to the community, leaving many pet owners in need of urgent care. The closure was met with shock and disappointment, particularly by the clinic’s former employees. Kristen Sonnenberg, a former employee, described the experience as “sudden and unexpected.” In an effort to fill this gap, Sonnenberg reached out to local business owners, including the owner of Veterinary Urgent Care in Houston, who was familiar with the importance of the clinic to the community.

Sonnenberg, who will serve as the manager of the new clinic, is passionate about providing quality care to the community. “Just because I’ve been here for so long it is home, and I’m just happy to be able to open up again to the public,” she said. Community Reaction

Pricing
The new clinic will offer affordable options, including payment plans. “It’s very hard to turn patients away all the time for lack of funds, so that was a big motivation for why we opened there and why we will open here,” explained Miller. “We want to be able to offer people an alternative for when they don’t necessarily have thousands of dollars at hand to treat their pet.”
Conclusion
The Southeast Texas region will soon have a new urgent care clinic, providing a much-needed service to the community.
